What is the maximum port range that Eikon API will attempt to connect?
Dear team,
I understand that Eikon Data/Proxy API will attempt to run on port 9000 by default.
But if 9000 has been occupied by other app, it will attempt to connect on the next available port, e.g. 9001, 9002,.. and so on.
Question: What is the highest port number that Eikon Proxy API will attempt to run?
i.e. will it eventually run up to the highest windows port (65535) if all have been occupied?
Or will it stop the attempt prior to that at a specific port ?
Thank you.
From my finding, with version 1.1.0.18, it will attempt to connect on the next available port until it reaches the highest windows port (65535) or encounters the unexpected errors.
If the error is an access error or already in use, it will try the next port. Otherwise, it will stop.
